What atopic dermatitis really means

“Just stop scratching.” You’ve probably heard that sentence — or seen the irritated look that comes with it — many times. As if it were a matter of discipline or willpower. But anyone who lives with atopic dermatitis knows: no amount of determination can stop this itch. And often the hardest part isn’t the itching itself, but the constant feeling of having to justify something that simply cannot be switched off.

You wake up in the morning. Your first thought is rarely: How will the day go? More often it’s: How is my skin today? Did I scratch again last night? Is a new flare-up coming?

The itch drives you crazy from the inside. It comes when you just want to sleep. It comes in moments when your mind wants to be somewhere else entirely. And eventually you scratch, even though you know it won’t make the skin better. But in that moment, it’s the only thing that feels like any kind of relief. Many people with the condition know the shame that follows all too well.

On top of that comes the fear of what others might think. Whether they notice the red skin. Whether they ask questions. Some people therefore avoid situations that others take for granted — swimming pools, tight clothing, physical closeness. For many, this has been part of everyday life for months, years, or even decades.

Atopic dermatitis is not only physically demanding. It is mentally exhausting. Most people affected don’t wish for a miracle. They wish for a daily life in which their skin no longer dictates everything else.

There is a moment that many people with atopic dermatitis know well: a holiday by the sea. The first night without scratching. The feeling of simply being in your skin, not fighting against it. Most people know from their own experience how good a holiday on the North Sea or the Mediterranean is for the skin. But as soon as you’re back home, it’s often only a matter of time before the next flare-up arrives.

What helps at the sea is no secret. It’s salt water. And there is a way to bring that into everyday life.

Why saltwater can help – and why it has not been accessible until now

Salt water has been one of the recognized supportive measures for atopic dermatitis for decades. North Sea cures, stays at the Dead Sea, rehabilitation facilities with salt baths — none of this is a coincidence. The positive effect on irritated, sensitive skin is well documented and is used by dermatologists worldwide.

The problem was always the same: At home there is no sea. And without a bathtub, there is no salt bath either. The effect experienced on holiday remained the exception.

shower+ closes exactly this gap.

In einer unabhängigen Studie geprüft • Dermatologisch getestet

shower+ wurde von Betroffenen entwickelt – für Betroffene. Wir kennen Neurodermitis aus dem eigenen Alltag. Über Jahre haben wir uns gefragt, warum es keine Möglichkeit gibt, die Wirkung von Meersalz täglich in die eigene Dusche zu holen. Aus dieser Frage ist shower+ entstanden.

What has changed for Alina

shower+ is a shower attachment that you install between the shower head and the hose. You don’t need to be a plumber – it’s done in just a few minutes, without any tools and without any modifications. After that, the salt shower becomes a permanent part of your daily shower routine.

You shower exactly as usual. At the end of the shower, you activate a lever on the attachment. At that moment, the shower water is enriched with pure sea salt. Once the stick has dissolved, simply turn off the shower so the salt water can absorb into the skin and isn’t immediately rinsed off again.

„Ich kannte die Wirkung von Salzwasser schon von früher – als Kind an der Nordsee war meine Haut immer besser. Aber ich war ehrlich gesagt skeptisch, ob eine Dusche wirklich denselben Effekt haben kann. Ich habe es trotzdem versucht."

„Schon nach der ersten Woche war meine Haut weniger rot. Das Nässen hat aufgehört. Das Bluten beim Kratzen auch. Was mich am meisten überrascht hat: Kratzen verursacht bei mir nicht mehr direkt Verletzungen. Die Haut hat sich stabilisiert."

It works that simply

The Starter Set contains everything you need: the shower attachment, the mounting tool and salt sticks with pure Mediterranean salt.

1

Armatur montieren – in wenigen Minuten

Die shower+ Duscharmatur wird zwischen deinem bestehenden Duschschlauch und der Wandarmatur installiert. Kein Handwerker nötig, alles ist verständlich erklärt. Egal ob Dusche oder Badewanne. Du brauchst maximal fünf Minuten.

2

Salzstick einsetzen, wie gewohnt duschen

Du steckst den Salzstick in die Armatur und duschst ganz normal. Erst am Ende des Duschvorgangs aktivierst du den Hebel – dann beginnt das Duschwasser, sich mit naturreinem Meersalz anzureichern.

3

Dusche abstellen, Salzwasser einwirken lassen und vorsichtig mit dem Handtuch abtupfen

Wenn sich der Stick aufgelöst hat, stellst du die Dusche einfach ab, damit das Salzwasser auf der Haut einziehen kann, statt sofort wieder abgespült zu werden.

Regelmäßig anwenden – die Haut braucht Konsistenz

Eine einmalige Anwendung ist ein Anfang, aber kein Ergebnis. Wer shower+ täglich oder mehrmals pro Woche nutzt, gibt der Haut das, was sie wirklich braucht. Die meisten Nutzer spüren erste Veränderungen bereits nach wenigen Anwendungen und sehen sichtbare Verbesserungen innerhalb der ersten ein bis zwei Wochen.

"Since I started using shower+ I haven't needed cortisone anymore, as the eczema is still there, but not as severe. It has almost completely disappeared from my elbows."
